Use of phrase " mine de rien"I am not quite sure how to use this in a sentence. Could you provide some examples please ?

My understanding is that J'ai mal à + noun is physical pain whereas Je suis malade is more like "I am sick" (perhaps with a flu or cold). Can you please confirm whether that is correct?

As well, it would probably be useful to either link to a lesson that explains être malade or have another section in this lesson that explains the difference for future students!

ne pas aimer vs ne aimer pas?

In the notes above, it says:

"You can also use ne pas aimer beaucoup to say 'not like much'.
Note that beaucoup will come after pas: "

Is this supposed to say ""You can also use "ne aimer pas beaucoup"?

Question word + est-ce-que :Mes amis français m'ont dit que cette forme est incorrecte, que "est-ce-que tu vas à... " est juste, mais pas "où est-ce-que tu vas". Qu'en pensez-vous ?
